Hello to the ExplorerPatcher team,
First of all, I want to congratulate you on the much-anticipated return of the Windows 10-style taskbar in version "22621.3880.66.4". I have been eagerly waiting for this feature, and I sincerely thank you for your work. It's a highly appreciated improvement!
However, I've noticed a few small points that could be improved.
Firstly, the notification area and the preview of open applications do not yet seem to be translated into French. It’s a minor detail, but it contributes to the user experience.
Additionally, I've noticed another small issue when I modified the Alt+Tab switcher to revert to the classic version. Even though both my screen reader and Windows are configured in French, when switching windows, the announcements are still in English (e.g., "1 of 2" instead of "1 sur 2"). This used to work fine in French, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.
I tested this version on Windows 11 LTSC 24H2 in a virtual machine.
My main concern is with the Windows 7-style command bar (with File, Edit, View, etc. menus) in File Explorer. This bar doesn't seem to function properly or works intermittently. I use the SysListView32 feature, but I encountered the issue even when it was disabled or never activated on the current installation. Most of the time, when the Windows 7 command bar is selected, the "File", "Edit", etc., menus do not appear; only the system menu with "Close", "Minimize", "Maximize", etc., is visible. Curiously, sometimes, the menus do appear correctly, but only for a few seconds after the machine starts.
I have conducted several tests on different installations, deleted, and recreated the virtual machine several times to test, but unfortunately, I encountered this issue each time with the Windows 7 command bar. Personally, I am much more comfortable with this command bar than with anything else, which is why I would be extremely grateful if you could find a solution.
Thank you in advance for your attention and for all the exceptional work you do to improve our Windows experience.
Best regards, Mathieu
